The Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook: More Than 100 *Grain-Free *Gluten-Free *Paleo-Friendly Recipes for Every Occasion

Jacket Description/Back:
Discover the Wonders of (Naturally Gluten-Free) Coconut Flour!
Coconut flour is quickly becoming one of the most popular flours on the market today, and deservedly so. It contains no gluten and no grain, and is low in digestive carbs and high in fiber, making it a favorite among paleo, primal, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, and low-glycemic dieters.
Unlike gluten-free flour "mixes," however, coconut flour may be used on its own and contains only one, all-natural ingredient--coconut! Its pure, slightly sweet taste is subtle enough that even coconut haters won't be able to detect it, and it lends itself perfectly to baked goods, creating results far superior to many other gluten-free treats. One bite of light and moist coconut flour bread is sure to have you addicted!
Inside, you'll learn how to bake wonderful muffins, cakes, cookies, savory bites and more with this amazing flour, which is now easy to find in most grocery stores and online. No fillers, additives, and gums here--just simple, all-natural treats such as:
Cheddar Biscuits
Banana Bread Waffles
Chocolate Chip Scones
Spiced Pumpkin Bread
Cinnamon Streusel Cake
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Pesto Flatbread Pizza
Garlic Cauliflower Breadsticks
Spinach Feta Quiche
Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce
Author and blogger Erica Kerwien will walk you through everything you need to know for using the flour with perfect results. You'll also find a handy icon guide for those recipes that are paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and more, so in no time you'll be whipping up new favorites that will please everyone (and every diet) at your table.
